My ventilator. Read, comment and judge me not.

Not to be able to write something worthwhile is depressing. I want to believe that I'm going through a writers block but thats not applicable because I'm not a writer and neither am I aspiring to be one. I realised my inability at producing anything lucid and sensible, a long time ago. If something like writing doesn't come naturally to you, don't push it. Leave it and it might develop with experience but don't burn yourself trying to improve. And besides how can one improve a non-existent skill? I'm glad I was quick to realise that or otherwise I would've been churning out mindless philosophies filled with dictionary-copied difficult words, hoping to make a name for myself.

I want to read newspapers, loads of them. Truck full of newspapers from all over the world, ofcourse only in English.

I want to print a nice article for someone but a) I don't have any article in mind and b) for whom to print? So few people cherish printed sheets of...text.

I want to eat peaches. But not alot because then I'll have to write another blog post on how badly my stomach reacted to it.

I want to sleep for long hours, waking up to find winters. I hate summers. I can sacrifice my peaches and other fruits for winters. People who think fruits compensate for the heat we have to bear in summers shouldn't be allowed to speak. Thats plain nonsense.

I want to read something mundane.

I want to use alot of cliches.

I want to own thick, bushy eyebrows that sway with the wind and cool off my forehead sweat.

I also want to own an air-conditioned abaya that gives out extra-chilly winds all day and doesn't have an outlet.

I want to learn Adobe, because yesterday I decided thats going to be my next passion.

I want to make another blog template for myself, but presently I'm feeling inadequate, lol. I love this word.

I want to make a phone call, a really long one, after which I feel amazingly fresh and chirpy.

And I really want to end this post now.

I hate surfing through new blogs. I'm lazy and egoistic. But I have an exam in a week and I'm *&^%-tired of parhai. So I went through your links...and to my surprise found a considerable number of Hijabi bloggers who are actually pretty good writers...

I'm impressed. You guys should form a Hijabi (that sounds condescending in my heads, lemme rephrase) religious community and try to tackle social issues in the context of your daily lives and the lives of women around you. Really!

And try and ignore any unintentional offences I might have committed while posting this. I have a no-*&^%-no-sugar policy. It comes across in my writing...

Muslim-lady: I shall do that.

Usman: lol, she sure is sweet and I would love to give you the number but she lives pretty far away...Barbados.

The fact that you used '*&^%-' while typing up the comment, CLEARLY shows how very dead sick of studies you are. Be calm, these sort of emotions usually come into play before the exam time. But the end is near and you'll make it, insha'Allah.

Oh yes, there are alot of good writers out there and it'd be nice, if not alot of fun. I'll ask around and lets see... But presently, that'd be a tad hard because alot of them just started back at colleges/unis and me, I've got my SAT exam coming up. But insha'Allah I'll keep that in mind.

P.S: Do you plan to write a novel?

I do plan to write a novel but perhaps not in the near future...see I got these stupid USMLE's to take care of to be eligible to practise medicine in the US...I don't wanna, but well, that's life...USMLE's take an average of one year to complete (including prep and all). Kinda like prepping for the SATS...

But a novel I will write inshAllah some time...it's all abt teh right time, tha'ssal...
